Some of the 9th graders experienced lag in different parts of teams they didn’t have before and attributed this to the mega thread. They didn’t know the danger that could come of such a large thread and carried on but with a little more caution now. They started planning out how they could end it in splendor and each of the 9th graders participating started to prepare a speech they would give right before the thread closed for good. | Some of the 9th graders experienced lag in different parts of teams they didn’t have before and attributed this to the mega thread.

So far the thread wasn’t having any major lag for those with newer computers. | So far the thread wasn’t having any major lag for those with newer computers. But trouble lurked on the horizon. | ||
An NSA freshman (whose name will not be shared) was secretly keeping track of the mega thread for security reasons. If anything happened, the thread could make teams shut down for days. This student warned CNST, who told Stuco, who was warned when the thread reached about 9000 replies and Stuco began the process of shutting it down. The thread, as one of the longest in NSA history, had the high likely hood of becoming an [[Project @tom Bomb|@tom bomb]]. No one wanted to accidentally set it off. It was completely shut down by the creator at 9049 messages. This number would become important to NSA history and to the 9th graders. | An NSA freshman (whose name will not be shared) was secretly keeping track of the mega thread for security reasons.
